Artistic & Historical Background:          Listen
Qu Yuan is a legendary figure in Chinese history, known for his patriotism and devotion to his country.

His story has been immortalized in various forms of art, including the Peking Opera, which is one of China's most renowned traditional performing arts.

The Laosheng (Old Man) role in Peking Opera is often portrayed as Qu Yuan, and the costume worn by the actor playing this character is called "Prisoner Clothing" or "Laosheng Garment."

The Prisoner Clothing is a unique and intricate piece of clothing that was designed specifically for the Laosheng role in Peking Opera.

It consists of a long robe with a high collar, a wide belt, and several layers of fabric.

The color of the garment varies depending on the specific production, but it is usually dark blue or black.

The design of the Prisoner Clothing reflects the character's status as an elderly scholar who has been imprisoned for his beliefs.

In addition to the Prisoner Clothing, actors playing the Laosheng role in Peking Opera also wear headwear such as a cap or hat.

These headwear items are designed to complement the overall look of the character and add to their authenticity.

For example, a cap may be made from silk or other luxurious materials, while a hat may have intricate embroidery or be adorned with feathers.

The combination of the Prisoner Clothing and headwear creates a striking visual effect that helps to convey the character's personality and status.

The intricate details of the clothing and headwear suggest that the actor playing Qu Yuan is highly skilled and dedicated to their craft.

This attention to detail is a hallmark of traditional Chinese performing arts, where every element of a production is carefully crafted to create a cohesive and immersive experience for the audience.
